Etymology

The term 'capitalist' originated from the word 'capital', which has its roots in the Latin 'capitale', referring to 'head' or 'source of wealth'. The first known use of 'capitalist' dates back to the mid-17th century, during the rise of mercantilism and the early phases of industrial capitalism in Europe. It was initially used to refer to people who amassed wealth and property. Over time, the term evolved to encompass those who invest and manage businesses to generate profit. By the 19th century, the concept of capitalism became more defined, and 'capitalist' was commonly used to describe individuals participating in a capitalist economic system, often in contrast to workers or laborers.
